These are already going for over cover on eBay (#106)–or at least you can’t easily find them for cover there; no new sales over cover but all listings I see are, but you can still get them for less than cover at TFAW if anyone wants up to 3 more: Batman #106 Cover A
…and 108 will be first cover if nothing else.

Not necessarily. Exclusives could still pop up for 107, whether she’s in there or not.
With a FOC of April 4, Batman #108 isn’t going to catch anyone by surprise. Retailers will be prepared as they were with Batman #92.

I don’t really think places do store exclusives for the Batman run tho. I can’t even remember any that have been done
Remember…G.I. Joe #11 is a Destro Cameo appearance…
Destro has 15+ panels of dialogue and is obviously part of the story…they just don’t show his face!

Or nothing else being 106 2nd print…?
Doubt DC would shoot their pre-sales in the foot with such a move give how far out 108 FOC is though…
I’m confused about whether or not I will receive any copies from TFAW. I clicked on the link to pre-order them, says that I already have them pre-ordered… but also states that something went wrong (which is what happened when I FIRST tried to pre-ordered, which is why I tried a second time. )
Definitely buy both 106/108. Especially at cover or below. Let the market sort it out.
106 has more the feel of Bat 89/HA 3 where it snuck up a bit on people. Where Bat 108 is more like 92 with all the punchline covers and everyone ordered heavy.
(Shouldn’t have snuck up though as Tynion mentioned she does appear in 106 too in that same blog). It caused me to order a handful at the time as you can’t go by creators cameo/full opinions.
107 could be interesting. Tynion only mentioned 106/108. She may not be in 107.
The funny thing is, Tynion hinted at the firsts for Punchline and people/retailers weren’t paying attention. Now a year later he’s sort of playing the same games. He’s laughing all the way to the bank though because he’s now getting people to chase multiple copies. Speculators might win with one of the issues but DC is ultimately winning by playing with speculators emotions…

Someone should make a new character, but never show their face in any panels. Let them be named forever, but never have their face shown. Like Dr Claw from Inspector Gadget

Call the character Hairline and only show the back of their head.

Exactly this!! I’ll go big on both and figure it out when the dust settles. Can at least recoup your buy in on the lesser of the 2.

That seems awfully risky. Just hope one skyrockets or your profit will be eaten up. Be different if no one knew about 108.
You mean betting on black and red in the same spin doesn’t work?
Bet on black and red and watch it land on the green 0. That’ll sting.

Would suck… but short of Infinite Frontier 0 I don’t see where else she could pop up within 24hrs.
I picked one of the regular covers that will be graded.Read thru his sour grape buyers and contemplated buying or not. Probably won’t rememebr getting it by the time it comes.

Just know that with Hotshot comics you will wait for the books. I am still waiting on a high republic #1 9.8 from them. What’s it been 3-4 months. Now a big part of the problem is cgc turn around times, not on hot shot, but just a heads up. If you don’t mind waiting it is a cheap way to go.

I’m all to familiar with nasty buyers on the Bay. I’ve had a couple of awful experiences, recently. Wife just cancelled all her listings. She was an Ebay power seller, and just decided, since she makes decent bank anyway, to just take a break
